Dimensions for originall RTA12 stands

Picked up a very nice pair of original RTA12's with the Peerless tweeters. The only thing missing were the original stands. Since they're uber hard to find, I figured it would be easier to fabricate replacements. Does anyone have dimensions?
The RTA12's are as good or better than everything I've read about them. I really love the wide open sound they give! I have a newer Monitor setup (M70s, M40s, CS2, and dual PSW-505s) and while the RTAs aren't a perfect timbre match, they sound surprisingly good with the Monitors! I originally hooked them up in A/B config and was only using them as stereo, but I decided to try multiple configs/distances, since the timbre difference was barely noticeable when playing both A+B together, and have settled on the RTAs as fronts and the M70s as wides. I still get the benefit of stereo when I want it, and great surround sound for both movies and multichannel music. I'm using two mid-90's Carver amps to drive the front soundstage, and the sound is amazingly lifelike. Audyssey DSX really does make a huge difference in the sound.

DR,
I'll try to remember to measure them when I get home.

Thanks MNmike! I knew there were be at least a few owners still floating around on here. I've been a long time lurker, but the RTAs finally gave me a reason to post :biggrin:

Sure, if it's not to much hassle! Pics will make it even easier.
